The Number 39

Alright well first off I’d like to express my anger about the Missouri loss today. They played Uconn well, but just got outmatched in the end. This kind of put a sour taste in my mouth.After that, Pitt lost, so I lost 2 of my final 4 tonight. However, the Pitt loss was probably more good news than bad news for me. Living in Pittsburgh, most people in the polls I am had Pitt winning it all. There is a very small amount of people who had them losing before now, so it’s really not a bad thing. The Missouri loss hurt me a lot though, because a large amount of people had Uconn. I have to be perfect from here on out to have a shot. That means I need Louisville and Oklahoma to win their next 2 games and then face off in the championship, where I need Louisville to win. I think it’s doable 

Anyways, I have recently been crowned number 39 on the leaders list for the fan blogs. This is probably greatly attributed to my 2-day run being the “featured blog”. 39 is a good number… let’s see what we can find. 
  1. The first (and probably the only) thing that instantly comes into my head is a big name in Pittsburgh sports. That’s fast Willie Parker. That pretty much speaks for itself right there.

  2. In math, the sum of the first 5 primes equals 39. (3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13). Now, that’s just eery.
  3. 39 is the atomic number of yttrium
  4. In the Torah, there are 39 mentions of work or labor.
  5. In baseball, Roy Campenella wore the number 39, and had the number retired.

  6. 39 is also the number of nanoseconds of the nuclear reaction in the largest nuclear explosion ever recorded. 

  7. Neil Armstrong was 39 years old when he stepped foot on the moon. 

  8. Queen recorded song titled “39″. 
and I did 8 things because 3 + 9 = 12, but 12′s too many so I took 4 off, because that’s how many teams will still be playing basketball next weekend. And plus, let’s face it, no one wants to read 12 of these stupid things.

A Trip Around MLBlogs

Alright tonight I will be taking a trip around mlblogs.com and clicking on various blogs, then writing a couple sentences. I’ll probably do between 5 and 10, and I’ll just click on the most recently updated blogs. I’ll leave links and comments on all of their blogs to let them know they’ve been featured on the ever prestigious EAT, SLEEP, MLB. Here we go!

First Up…
King Of Cali : This evening this Giants fan wrote a recap of today’s spring training game against the Mariners. Looks like Pablo Sandoval is crushing the ball down in Arizona. I was also disappointed that Tim Lincecum only struck out 1 batter in 6 innings, c’mon Tim. The King of Cali made his daily Today In Baseball History entry and had some interesting information. Check it out everybody!
Next…
Rocky Mountain Way… Outside Coors Looking In : Well I’m not exactly sure on what this guy is doing, because I’m a tad too lazy and short on time to read the story he links in his description at the top of the page, but it seems that he’s using 2009 to research all different kinds of baseball information across the nation. Today he made a post about Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig playing baseball all around the world in the 1920′s and 1930′s. A really interesting post. Great read.
Third…
Red Sox Hen : A dedicated Red Sox fan wrote about the topic of the day, Curt Schilling’s retirement. Earlier posts have featured Daisuke and the World Baseball Classic and Tim Wakefield. A nice blog, a lot of good pictures. Check it out.
Fourth…
Statistician Magician : One of my favorite blogs. He wrote a great NL East preview today. Bookmark it, save it, remember it, whatever, this guy’s got skills. 
Fifth…
Redbird Chatter : A Cardinals fan with a big passion for the World Baseball Classic. She wrote a great article recapping last night’s USA vs. Japan game. I personally wasn’t able to watch the game, but she did a great job of painting the picture for me. 
Sixth…
Skip On Second : This Tiger’s fan made a short post about today’s Tigers game and how Brandon Lyons got absolutely lit up. He also mentioned Curt Schilling and paid a short tribute to one of the great pitchers and great people we have ever seen. 
Seventh…
Plunking Gomez : Wrote an article about the USA team’s loss last night. “Team USA poops the proverbial bed” – hilarious stuff. This is another one of my favorite blogs, check him out!
Eighth… for all you spanish-speaking people out there…
La Nacion Medias Rojas : Okay I took 2 years of spanish class, I’m almost positive that means “Red Sox Nation”. Although I couldn’t make anything else out in there, but there’s a picture of Kevin Youkilis. Pictures are good.
So there you have it.
